Our Present Help
God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you. Ex. 3:14
God stills every storm to a whisper. The children of Israel had cried out for help for years. Then God sends Moses with a new revelation of His person. ‘If they ask you who has sent you, say to them ‘I AM THAT I AM’ has sent you’.

The Comforter II
‘But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me’ John 15:26
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ. No wonder the Bible says, ‘Christ in you the hope of glory’. The Holy Spirit is not different from Jesus Christ. Jesus says ‘I and the Father are one’. He says ‘I am going but I am leaving another Comforter, I am not going to leave you like orphans. I am going to come and stay with you’. So who is the Comforter? Jesus. Which means that everything Jesus was to the disciples when He walked with them side by side, the Holy Spirit is to us today. Read the rest of this entry

Even Jesus who came for the good of mankind was accused of healing through Read the rest of this entry
Men’s View vs God’s View III
‘Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it’ Ps.139:14
David knew God’s opinion about him and because he believed it so strongly, he was able to rise above the box of the opinion of men.

However, God’s view is far reaching and it Read the rest of this entry
